School Preperation and Socialisation Program
School Prep Socialisation Program at Kids Therapy Clinics Australia
Starting school is an important milestone for children, but it can also bring challenges, especially for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), learning disabilities, or difficulties with communication and socialisation. At Kids Therapy Clinics Australia, we’ve developed a tailored School Prep Socialisation Program to help children confidently transition to school while building the skills they need to succeed in a classroom setting.
What is the School Prep Socialisation Program?
The School Prep Socialisation Program is a comprehensive, evidence-based intervention designed to prepare children for the social, emotional, and cognitive demands of school life. Our program focuses on creating a supportive and engaging environment where children can develop critical skills for success in their early education journey.
